pre-Victorian, circa 1830 Obadiah Sherratt Staffordshire Pearlware Bocage group with a Pastoral theme which features cows, one being bitten by a snake, stood on an oval base. The pieces have possibly been matched together at some stage. We think this because they have different colouration. Rainbow base version. Decorated in the round with decoration to the front and the reverse. Book reference,''Sherratt? A Natural Family of Staffordshire Figures'', by Malcolm & Judith Hodkinson, page 18, figure 19. Right facing: Fair. A few paint losses. Kiln effects: glaze run to the russet patch; a few specks of kiln soot caught in the glaze to the base. Remodelled bocage, three sections. Remodelled ear.
